Pixel-based action platformer Horned Knight takes players into the golden age of the arcade genre next week

As it became known, Horned Knight will go on sale on February 23 this year for PlayStation 4, February 24 – for Xbox One, and February 26 – for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.

The pre-order collection will also be rolling out in stages, with the option coming to Xbox One today, February 17, and to Nintendo Switch on February 19. The cost of the game will be $ 6 (the ruble equivalent is not specified).

Significant for such a small indie game, the announcement in 2Awesome Studio was accompanied by the Horned Knight gameplay trailer from four months ago, attached below.

Horned Knight promises to return players to the “golden age of the arcade genre”: a simple storyline (knight vs. undead in a castle), multiple levels, responsive controls, and an invigorating soundtrack.

According to the description on Steam, the keys to success in Horned Knight are agility and the ability to calculate your actions because only one careless step can lead to defeat.

In total, Horned Knight is expected to have four worlds, divided into 32 levels, “a bunch of monsters and bosses,” “intense battles,” “an amazing castle with a variety of surroundings,” and two difficulty modes (hardcore and not so).
